Tn. lsest wife OF All.

Three travellers met in the Brander Pass,
BY the bub6ling Brander spring:
They shared their cake and their venison,
Aud they talked OF many thing.
Of books. and song, and foreign lands,
or strange and wandering lives,
Ana by and by, in softer tones,
They spoke of their homes and wives.
IL married the Lady OF Logan Brae,"
Said one with a lofty air;
There Is ma IN a the north countree
A home WI better share
OF gold aad gear, and hill and loch,
or houses and farms TO rent,
There's many a man has envied me
Aud I'm mair than weel content"
Dream OF a woman as bright as day,
The second traveller said;
Dream OF a form Of perfect grace,
or noble face and head,
OF eyes that are rs blue as heaven.

TSat is my wife aud though not rich
Oh she is wondrous fair
The third one said Il have wife,
She is neither rich nor fair;
She has not gold, nor gear. nor land
Nor wealth of nut-orown hair
But Oh she loves me aud her love
Has stood through every test.
Beauty and gold are good, but, friends
We know that love is best"
They flied their cups in the spring again,
And they said, right hear,Ily:
Here's to the loving, faithful wife,
Wherever her home may ber'
And soon they took their different ways,
One thought in each mans breast;
Beauty is good. and gold is good,
But true love Is the best"

Lingg Was a NObleman's Son.

n man who claims to have known
Lineg's mother said in the presence of
German Jail official at Chicago, who
became more intimate with the desper-
ate Anarchist than anyone else during
his confinement: "Lingg was born in
town in Germany called Mauheim,
where his mother is well-to 90 dress
maker. His father was a nobleman ::
his mother came from the humber
classes. Her parents were dependents.
The girl was comely, and an intimacy
spraDg up between her and the son of an
old nobeman. 1t was the old old story.
The mar who ended his life IN such a
terrible manner at Chicago last Thurs
day was not born in wedlock. We
know that Captain Setback knows il.
and we know further that Lingg hated
his father with a ferociJy that was
something terrible. He hated the class
to which his father belonged. He
hated the rich but some Cf the quail
ties belonging 10 hls father helped to
TO make Lingg the strange man he was.
He had quick intelligence. though his
educational opportunities were limited.
He aspired to work a change in the
condition of things which oppressed the
working classes. The nobleman came
from family of soldiers. There is
where Lingg got his stubborn physical
courage.
From childhood until he was six
teen years of age he was made to suffer
from the taunts and insults of his play
mates. He was sensitive, and these
affronts embittered his whole life. At
sixteen he was sent to Switzerland.
There he was brought up in the society
of Revolutionists, who came from all
parts of Europe. In that society be
was facie pupil. He learned to plot
and scheme as easily as duck takes to

was the son of his mother, who, on
learning his situation, herself having

wrote him simply to die bravelv. She
never recovered from the early deceits
practiced against her, and she never
married."

The MAN WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE.

An audience highly intelligent and
appreciative in character, but much
smaller in numbers than the merit
of the entertainment deserved, at
tended Mrs. Williams lecture last
evening under the auspices of the
Library and Reading Room Associa-
ton. The fact that Shakespeare and
his writings furnish very familiar,
not to say hacknied subject for liter
AIRY and critical effort, may have had
something to do with the limited at
tendance. ii so, 1t was made quite
clear to those who We're so fortunate
as to be present, that there is no
topic possessed OF any inherent inter
est, however familiar, but can be
made attractive and profitable by
passing through the alembic of a
really strong and original mind.
Such mind Mrs. Williams undoubt-
edly possesses.
Throughout The entire address, she
exhibited u breadth OF intellectual
conception and firmness of mental
grip which is seldom seen on the lee
ture platform. Her work is not only
interesting and instructive, but
original, stimulating and suggestive
in high degree. TO bring before
the audience clear, strong and con-

NATURAL GAS IN UTAH.

Natural gas is now being used at
the salt works at Lake Shore, the
old Utah Central bathing resort, for
the purpose of making salt. The
experiment has only been recently
tried, but so far it has proven to be
most unqualified success, and the
proprietors are jubilant over the re-
suit SO far attained. The method
employed is the vat principle. The
water is pumped from the lake into
a vat, raised few inches higher
than the one in which the salt is
made. The two are connected by
pipe, the mouth of which is pro-
tected by fine wire sieve, which
prevents any foreign matter from
entering the lower vat. Under
meath the lower vat, which is twelve
feet by five, and fourteen inches
deep, four large jets of natural gas
are placed, and these give out an
extreme heat that is simply remark
able. The gas wells were struck,
it will be remembered, accidentally,
or rather while the owners were
driving for water, and they are now
turned to better advantage than the
water could have been. The method
of making the salt is an extremely
simple one. The water is run into
the vat, the gas jets lighted, and
when the brine attains great heat,
the salt, being the heavier body,
sinks to the bottom, and the magne-
sia, alkali, etc., float on the water.
The salt is gradually drawn away
from the impurities, and when the
operation ends the result is clean,
white salt, such as makes some Of
the brands now on the markets as
sumo an ebony tint by comparison.
The salt is claimed to be much
purer than any other similar lake
product, and If snowy whiteness
goes for aught, they certainly have
good grounds for their assertions.
The using of natural gas cuts down
expenses materially, and 1T may yet
be that natural gas will form one of
the great natural resources of the
Territory.-[Salt Lake Herald.

HORSE FiXINCS.

Mr.. c. Hammer, whose place of
business is at the corner of Fort
and King streets, is not doctor.
His friend Morgan, little further
north on the opposite side of King
street, is. He is a doctor of car
riages. But what is the use of
sound carriage and sprightly horse
without harness? That is just
where Hammer comes in. He is a
horse clothier and decorator. A
horse without harness, bride, or
saddle, may eat all the grass grown
on the islands and devour all the
oats and hay imported from Cali
fornia, but in that condition he can
not draw a carriage, nor is fit for
carrying a lady or gentleman. A
boy can manage to 60 like the wind
bare backed. Hammer is the man
to make and furnish the necessary
fixings. A charger set off with one
of his saddles and brides = fit for
the Empress of Austria to ride after
the hounds or a cowboy to gallop
through the rugged gulches of Ha-
wall. Then set of his harness,
whether on q horse attached to q
private carriage or public express,
is something to sit behind with pride
and composure, because it is pretty
to look at and safe to rely upon.
For anything and everything neces-
sary to clothe and decorate the
noble horse for the uses of his
master or mistress, Hammer is the
man to 60 to. If he hasn't it already
in stock, he will manufacture it,
good and strong, in less than two
shakes of dead dogs tail. He is
just opening stock of Australian
manufacture, than which there is
none better anywhere.

ststent image, not of an actor, \
literary phenomenon, or historical
name, but of the "Man" as he really
existed in flesh and blood and
moved among his fellows, influenced
by similar conditions and swayed by
like passions as ourselves, was the
task the lecturer set for herself, and
which in the space of about an hour
and quarter, she accomplished in
II wonderfully effective manner. For
the purpose Of the lecture, the vari-
Gus minor traditions concerning the
external circumstances of Shake
spearc's life, the gossip about Shake
speare as it might be called, were dis
missed as irrelevant and Impairment
Whether he ever held horses at the
door OF the theater, or did or did not
do various other things which have
been attributed to him is OF no con-
sequence whatever to us Mt the pre-
sent time, either as historical facts or
as factors in the evolution OF that
wonderful intellectual and spiritual
phenomenon which we know as
William Shakespeare. The develop
mcnt of this character, the gradual
growth and crystalization of those
mental and moral qualities which
constituted the real man as distin-
guished from mere outward condi'
tons was to be found mirrored in his
works. OF the manner in which this
idea was carried out, we can, in the
limits of II brief newspaper notice,
give'not even satisfactory outline.
Should Mrs. Williams lecture again
in Honolulu, which it is to be hoped
she will, our readers will have an
opportunity of hearing her for them
selves and judging of her very re-
markable powers.

NAVAL MANDsUvReS OFF GIBRALTAR

According to the Home Ne,rs.
An interesting series of manGuvres
by the French Mediterranean Squad
ron will take place in April. There
are to be two distinct operations.
The first will consist in the attempt
of tropedo division lying under the
lee of the Island of Sardinia to inter-
cept French military convoy on its
way from Toulon to Algiers. The
second operation will have peculiar
interest for English naval men. A
French squadron is to attempt to
force its way through the Straits of
Gibraltar, torpedo squadron barr
ing the passage. The fact of the
French navy indulging in sham
fight under the very muzzle of war
guns seems somewhat questionable
proceeding. In the third operation,
the Gibraltar Straits having been
forced, the torpedo boats will try to
prevent the squadron from entering
Brest. The site of these latter man.
Guvres is oddly selected. Gibraltar
is as much an English military port
as Cherbourg is French, and it is
not probable that the French would
welcome an English sham fight with.
in gunshot of the forts in the break
water. The programme certainly
requires explanation. OF course,
no harm is meant, but the idea is q
violation of military rule and pre-
cedent. If we lived in less civilised
times, correspondent remarks, and
had not complete confidence in the
peaceful intentions Of our neigh
bours, what guarantee could there
be that the torpedo boats and squad
ron should not combine and attempt
to carry Gibraltar by coup de

The SONG OF Tine SHIRT.

Sewing women in New York, ac-
cording to writer in the New York
Times, are most wretchedly paid.
The young women Of the well to-do
families who used to be able to
maintain themselves by taking homo
sewing for the manufacturing firms
find themselves unable to earn their
car fares since the cuts in the prices
of the past few years; while the
poor women in the tenements who
eked out a scanty living by such
work are simply unable to exist.
Three years ago Sl7 per dozen was
pads for cloaks, but this price has
been successfully reduced to *l2,
81, Sc, IS, 81 and So, until it is
now $3.50 per dozen. Dress suits,
Aannels and sacques, are $l.85 per
dozen; fancy wrappers are 81 per

DETENTION OF A BRITISH SUBJECT IN
RUSSIA.

The following case, says the Odessa
correspondent OF the "Daily News"
appears to call for prompt investiga-
ton on the part of the Foreign Office.
An Englishman named John Will
liam Robinson was seven months
ago arrested ut Kieff ON charge of
having no passport. He was kept in
prison five months before his case
was tried, and then sentenced to q
further four months imprisonment.
He appealed to the British Consul
General at Odessa, Mr.. Gerald r.
Perry, for protection and assistance,
stating that he had unfortunately left
his last residence without passport.
This appeal he was compelled to
write in Russian, and it was for
warded through the Kieif Procureur-
General. 1t was only subsequently,
and in reply to the urgent despatch
OF the Consul-General, that the Pro-
cureur stated that Robinson was ar
rested for having false passport
and that he must now undergo the
sentence of four months imprispn.
ment, dating from the ith OF Deem
Der last %. 81 But here is II bad
feature Of the case. After the sen
tence OF four months was passed
upon Robinson, fifty days were al
lowed to lapse before that sentenc,
became operative: that is, with the
previous detention Of five months
the man will, on the 4th OF Apr
next, have been incarcerated clever

Mr.. Perry to know in what manner
this mans passport was false, and
the particulars us to last residence,
etc, the Kief Procureur does not
vouchsafe any reply. Robinson says
distinctly he had no passport; his
statement was compulsorily set down
in Russian for the Procureur, who by
accepting it and formally handing it
over to Mr.. Perry thereby at all
events lent to that statement his
official eXcquatur. Since Robinson's
first appeal reached the British Con-
sulate here Mr.. Perry has excrted
himself to the utmost, through the
Procureur-General and Governor
General of Kief, and through Sir
Robert Morier at st. Petersburg.
Robinson is native of Beverley,
Yorkshire,
